Study Group and Kingston University Celebrate Opening of International Study Centre

06 October 2010

London

As the new university year began, Study Group's first London-based International Study Centre, based at Kingston University, welcomed its first intake of students.

The occasion was marked with a reception at the ISC’s headquarters at Kingston University's Penrhyn Road campus, which was attended by representatives from Study Group and the University, as well as some of the 70 students making up the new intake.

Principal of UK ISCs for Study Group, Paul Lovegrove, commented, “Kingston University is a well-established brand that is known for the warm welcome it gives overseas students and the quality of its undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Kingston’s location is also ideal; the Penrhyn Road campus is close to the town centre which allows easy access to central London, complementing the close-knit community of the University. As Study Group’s first ISC in the capital, we’ll be working with the University to ensure it becomes an example of best practice for other higher education institutions in the area.”

Representing a wide range of nationalities, the students are starting International Foundation Year or Pre-Masters programmes, and will progress to their undergradute or postgraduate degree next September.
